What the cost depends on

The procedure type.
The approach, laparoscopic or robotic. Robotic assistance is used for revisional surgery and SADI-S; the other operations are performed laparoscopically.
The operating-room technology, and the stapling devices and consumables used.
The private hospital category.
Your health profile and BMI.
Any additional procedure performed in the same operation.
For the gastric balloon: the device’s country of origin is the biggest factor, and in most cases removing the balloon is a separate procedure of about EGP 10,000.
